"You've gotten better than me at this," Zaya breathed out while panting heavily. "Sir is going to be very impressed with you skills now."
"Thanks to you," I laughed and got off the wrestling mats, strolling towards the table in the corner to chug down some water. "Can we end this early today? I want to catch up with my brother."
"Of course," I heard her say while I gathered my towel and the second pair of outfit to change into from this sweaty one. "I'll let Derek know. He'll get the car ready for you."
"You're an angel, Zaya. What am I going to-" I turned around and saw no trace of her. My heart didn't waste a minute to begin slamming against my ribs while I placed my clothes back down. "Zaya?" I called out and grabbed my gun that laid on the table before taking small, cautious steps toward the shower area. "Zaya, quit playing."
A palm tugged at my waist and grabbed me from behind while the other hand tried to snatch my gun, but I was too quick for the intruder and slammed my elbow into the person's face while I attempted to twist my hand to shoot at the invader who still held onto me tightly. The large, rough hand disarmed me of my weapon, throwing it to the floor before my body got rammed into the wall with force, but not enough to hurt me. My wrists are trapped behind my back, held tight by one of the hands while the other one snaked to my front keeping me in place with the intruder's heavy breaths raking my ear.
"Let me go, or I'll kill you." I struggled against the empowering hold on me and tried to push my body away from the wall, but the invader's large frame was fixed to my back with force.
"You've gotten more feisty, my love." My tense body immediately calmed as his husky voice tickled my ears soothingly when he whispered. "Missed me?" His mouth kissed my cheek before nibbling on my neck, forcing me to sigh in pleasure and relief.
"Leo," I whispered to myself and felt his death grip loosen around my wrists, his body backing away taking his warmth away with him. Turning on my heel, I jumped on the man and wrapped my legs around his suited torso. "My favorite pizza!" I squealed in happiness, forcing us both to laugh as he tightened his hold on me and twirled me around before seating himself on a bench with me still clinging onto him, straddling his lap. I wanted to make up for all those days I didn't get to see him, didn't get to touch him, didn't get to kiss him. "I've missed you so much."
Breaking our embrace, I held his face in my palms that were shaking due to the excitement that ran through my blood. His light beard pricked my palms as I feathered them up and down his face, admiring the man I haven't seen in what felt like forever. He smiled up at me before his hand caressed my cheek with his thumb brushing over my lower lip. Lightly tugging my tingly lip down with the same thumb, he reached up and took it into his mouth softly, bursting warm butterflies throughout my body in the form of nuclear explosions. I pressed my body and lips against him with need and urgency that I couldn't hold back. Sliding my tongue into his mouth first, I rocked my hips on his lap feeling the slight tent in his pants that was growing slowly.
"I've missed you so fucking much, Regina." He whispered against my lips and continued with the current task.
His hands sailed up and down my spine with his nails raking along while my left hand rested on his cheek and my right one pulled the hair at the nape of his neck. A moan escaped my throat while a sexy groan ripped through his when he grabbed my hips and pushed them down onto his hard-on, the friction igniting a fire within me.
"God, my love," he panted breathlessly when I pulled away to catch some air.
Smiling down at him, I blanketed my arms around his neck and hid my face in the nook of his neck. "Why didn't you come sooner?"
"I wish I could, my love, but I had things to take care of. People to hunt."
"How's Evelina?" I ripped myself away from him and unbuckled my legs from his torso, stepping away to tuck my sweaty strands and to tighten my ponytail. I didn't know what happened to her during the kidnapping because he didn't tell me and neither did Mike, but I didn't pry like a pest. I knew something happened due to which he stayed away.
"She's recovering strongly," he cleared his throat and looked down to hide his surfacing emotions before he shook it away and stood up, wrapping his arms around my shoulder and pulling me into another embrace. "I've missed you, my love."
"I've missed you too," I laid my head against his chest and we stood there wrapped in each other's arms, soaking in the warmth and love radiating off us.
"Show me what you've learned in my absence," he demanded as he flung his suit jacket to the table and loosened his tie before throwing it to the floor. Unbuttoning his collar and cuffs, he rolled his sleeves up to reveal his strong, veiny forearms. "Let's go, love. Hit me."
"With pleasure," I smirked wickedly at him as we both take a defensive stance. "You asked for it."
The side of his lips cocked up with amusement, but it dropped as soon as I charged towards him like a boar, flinging my fist in the air to hit him. Blocking my attack, he saw the chance and tried to place a roundhouse punch on me. I ducked just in time and slammed my clenched fist into the side of his torso, forcing a wince out of him and pushing him back. I twirled around while he was still recovering from the impact to gain speed and momentum on him to place a strong roundhouse kick to his face, cocking his entire head due to the collision. Kicking his chest, the man crumbled to the floor as I quickly climbed on him, straddling him once again and tangling my fingers with his to pin his hands above his head while I teased the fallen and bleeding man by grinding my ass against him.
"I busted your lip, Mr. Pepperoni." I pecked his lips and grinned at him. "What do you think now? You wanted me to take a man like you down and that's what I just did."
His jaw just twitched under my stature while something dark washed over his vision, compelling my smirk to fall right off in fear as to what his next move would be. I tightened my hold on him and pinned the strong man further down to the floor, but he still managed to flip me over and trap my arms under his knee.
"Leo," I laughed as he began tickling my sides and neck. "Oh my God! Stop!" My laughter mixed with my whimpers as I struggled to shimmy out from under his heavy body. "I'm going to kill you!"
Bucking my hips up and slamming my knees into his back, I send him flying forward while I took my stance once again and sandwiched his face between my hands that slapped him on each cheek at the same time. Unable to control my laughter, I started cackling and gripped my belly as I saw his reddened face glare at me.
Grabbing my hand, he jerked my body to him and slammed my back against the wall. "You have woken up the beast and now you'll see what it means." He hissed through his gritted teeth as he pinned my hands to my sides.
